4. Tired tired tired lol. I finished my zpack and still have the inhaler but I think this cough will stay with me for awhile!
5. I had my recheck A/S yesterday but messed up the time. Will go on Tues.
I was reading in 2nd Tri a post and laughing how someone said putting your registry info on the invite is a no no? Seriously...I have a few pp invited that are pretty upper class and they did that. To each it's own. I don't side eye anyone because it's not my business. I will write my own thank you addresses out but again... in my circle the envolopes are at the table. All these rules!!!!
I'm sure I would get flamed that I'm helping my mom who is from another country and not good with this stuff. Only with the favors though I just find some stuff ridiculous. I do cringe...no offense to you that do this...but asking for diapers and a book and a gift lol. This just all makes me laugh!
QOTW: Oh my I might have to come back to this.

4. How are you feeling? A little bit better today! I've been SUPER nauseous. I have these young living essential oils and someone told me to try lemon on the base of my neck and clavicle and it works! it really does make me feel better. It wears off quicker than I prefer but it works pretty well.
5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? My first appt. is next Wednesday the 29th. I can't wait. I haven't seen a doctor yet and I just can't wait! I'm nervous and anxious. I just want everything to be good!
QOTW: Who is your favorite superhero or heroine, and why? My mom. Because she's the best person I know and because no matter what life throws at her.. she picks herself up and moves forward. She's the hardest worker I've ever known in my life. She's the best grandma my kids could ever ask for. She's an amazing person.

Still starving. I feel blessed that I haven't had MS (knock on wood), but scared that I'm going to gain too much weight because I can't stop eating.
5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
Next app't is not until Nov 10. I am very anxious, because they will be doing so much testing at that app't - Maternit21, NT scan, genetic testing, etc. (although I guess they'll be doing a ton of testing at every app't, so I should probably get used to it)

5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
10/27, check up and will probably schedule my glucose test
QOTW: Who is your favorite superhero or heroine, and why?
Wonder Woman and the Bionic Woman. Being a product of the 70's, these were the strongest women depicted on TV at the time. I thought Wonder Woman was a bad ass and was obsessed with her. At one point I thought my mom could be Wonder Woman. LOL Nowadays, my heros are strong, independent women that aren't afraid to stick up for themselves and rule their world! (Ya know, women like myself!!)

4. How are you feeling?
Definitely starting to enjoy the 2nd trimester some! Sometimes the smells are overwhelming, I hate smoke and whenever I'm outside, in public, I can smell someone smoking, even if they're around a corner! Exhaust & gas fumes drive me nuts too, just been trying to stay home! I still have RLP, but just deal w/ the pain now and try to alleviate it when I can. I've noticed all of a sudden that when I'm hungry, I'm REALLY hungry, not sure when this starvation thing came on! I only gained 4lbs in first trimester, now I'm concerned about gaining...
5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
Yes! I had my level 2 US/anatomy scan last week and was so happy to see our baby boy again (new 3D image in siggy)! He was squirming the whole time, they're making me come back on Nov. 13th for a follow up since they couldn't get any good still images of the heart. The tech said everything looked great and the dr. said no reason for concern, he'd just like to see clearer images. My 20wk OB appt is this Thursday.
QOTW: Who is your favorite superhero or heroine, and why?
When I was a kid I loved Gambit from the X-Men cartoon! He was so cool with his playing cards, red eyes and accent, and he loved Rogue so much! Now with the movies, I really love Wolverine and Iron Man, even though they can be jerks sometimes, the usually do the right thing! Wonder Woman was pretty badass too, I liked watching the Super Friends cartoon too.
